Decorators have feelings too.

"Redecorating involves an ongoing, intimate relationship with someone you've probably just met and who is going to know everything -- and I mean everything -- about you and your immediate entourage. And no matter how successful they are, many decorators need to know that you really, really want to work with them. "Being nice and mentioning that they love your work are basic," says Victoria Hagan, who only takes on entire homes. "Decorating is about matchmaking and is based on trust and mutual respect," she adds. "It's about creating something beautiful with people you care about."
